Just a thought on mine, the main knock I want to sort is on the edge of the door, obviously where a previous owner banged it off something. I know that some dents aren't really suited to this kind of fix and am wondering if this might be one? If its a problem, I do have a reserve car that has a few more traditional battle scars! |

I waxed my car last week - for the first time - and I really want these dents removed! I don't know how they got there, but I suspect shopping trolleys or the users thereof!! They're very slight and in the upper part of the rear left side panel.

Its my guy's assessment. Its quite possible that it could be done cheaper, but I still have to wait until I have a cheque.
The current situation is that I effectively have no car (not even a hire car anymore), no money yet to fix it and still a feckin sore neck! I'll have to get two busses to work for the next few days making the overall commute to and from work about 3-4 hours per day! |

Is that the insurance assessors cost for repairs. Mine were quoting €8.5K and I got it done for €6k. Guy in maynooth and he gives you a lend of a car, not BMW though |

Rear ended!
Quinn want to give me under 4k to write it off and leave me with the car. Damage is expected to cost closer to 5k to fix. I never had any time for Quinn before now (too many stories about them). Now I have absolutely no time for them! |

Depending on how deep and severe the dent under it is, Rob might be able to massage most of it out from the inside, but if there is paint gone, either way it will require painting. I think also, if the dents are on corners or rounded/pressed lines on panels it would be more difficult to work out. Cheers Paddy |

I assume a gash that requires painting is not included?

That wound like value. I have some dimples on the rear left side panel that can be seen at certain angles. No idea how they got there but I'd love them removed. I have one gash on the bottom of the same wheel arch - near the door - and I do know how that got there!

Agaafear, it's coming in at €60 per panel regardless of number of dents, and €100 for 2 panels, for example 2 doors, again regardless of amount of dents. I will probably hang around a while too, just have the NCT to look forward to after it.......... Killian, hope things work out for the best for you and you can pop along. Thanks for keeping us informed. Cheers Paddy. Edited by paddy_d2k2 |

How much does this cost? I'm presuming it isn't free? Staggering the times sounds like an idea, though I don't mind waiting.

......or at least need more than a half hour slot to get it sorted! Maybe best if you go first Killian, then the rest of us can get an idea of how good the guy is...... |

Sorry Paddy but given the current status of my car (possible write off), I may have to opt out of this. I'll keep you informed.

Just an update on who's coming along.. The list so far: 1) Paddy 2) K. Bannon 3) Dergside 4) Agaafear 5) John 6) Martin 7) Bayerische I will be away in The States from Monday, until the 27th but as is, the date and time is confirmed, Rob is confirmed and the location is set. I will check again briefly over the weekend to see if anyone else will be along, otherwise it will be the 27th before I can check back! Good response so far, so I am looking forward to it!

I'm just after being reminded that I'll be on holidays that weekend so unfortunately I can't make it. Hopefully there'll be another day as I could do with a few dents out!
